Debbie Stabenow

Not having enough nurses, right, and CNAs, is also, along with pay structure, really an issue.

The NAM applauds Senators Stabenow, Cornyn, Warner, and Daines for their leadership in crafting proposals.

We need to ensure that our tax code allows government to rebuild our infrastructure, invest in our workers, and provide for our security.

We particularly support that the legislation directs a portion of the spending to manufacturing facilities in communities with significant job losses in coal, power plants, and manufacturing.

It is counterproductive to the goals of a fair and growing economy to allow U.S. companies to pay a lower tax rate abroad than they pay in the United States.

I appreciate Senator Manchin and Senator Daines partnering on this.

We are in a race. We know $100 billion has already been put in that race by China for electrification.

We need more jobs, as you know, for our skilled workers--good-paying jobs.

I do not believe that we have an economy unless somebody makes something and somebody grows something.

I am pleased to have introduced a bipartisan bill called the Make It in America Act.

We have to be doing that as well.

We cannot have those things made in America.

We appreciate Senator Stabenow's leadership, and not just as a champion for expanding the electric vehicle consumer tax credit.

The climate crisis might seem insurmountable, but our farmers and foresters are an important part of the solution.

Everyone in agriculture and forestry should make their voices heard because now is the time to act and to lead.

To Mrs. Wittman Stitt, in developing any voluntary climate-focused program, our top priority should be ensuring opportunities are easily accessible to producers.

Healthier, carbon-rich soil means lower fertilizer costs.

This is common-sense legislation to establish a structure at the U.S. Department of Agriculture to help farmers, foresters, and others implement climate-smart practices.

We have traditionally, historically underfunded behavioral health systems in this country.

We have got to make sure every child can get back into school safely, period.

These services led to a 63 percent decrease in emergency department visits for behavioral health.

We do not have that much time now. We just do not have time to wait another six, eight months.

I have heard nothing but extremely positive things, both from Democrats and Republicans, and I look forward to working with you if you are confirmed.

We have got to help people in small businesses, small family farms get through and survive this pandemic.

My friend, Senator Roy Blunt, and I have been leading efforts strongly supported on both sides of the aisle.
